Default Scrolls in Combat

We just played the game for the first time last night and a question came up.

We know that a munchkin has to be in the same room or an adjacent room in order to interfere in combat via thrown potions and such, but what about scrolls? Can they be used to affect the fight from the other side of the dungeon? We eventually decided that since we couldn't find anything that seemed to forbid it, the Munchkinly thing to do, would be to allow it.

Any thoughts?

I believe the rules talk about "thrown items" not "thrown potions", which would mean dat any Items that has the keyword Thrown can only be used in the room, and in an adjacent one.

So just for further clarification for the more stubborn of my group...

Scrolls can be used anywhere in the dungeon to interfere in combat (since they are not thrown)... unless otherwise noted on the card. Correct?

The Thrown items section specifically says that items with the keyword Throwable can only be used in the room or in an adjacent room. If the scroll doesn't have the Throwable keyword, then it can be used from wherever as long as the card itself doesn't give any restrictions. I'd say you came to the right conclusion.

In general the rule is Potions have a range, Scrolls will work on anybody.
